England are facing disciplinary proceedings from UEFA after a laser was directed at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel in the second half during Wednesday\u2019s Euro 2020 semi-final clash.<\/p>\n
Cameras showed a green light appear on the Leicester City goalkeeper\u2019s face just before Harry Kane scored the winning penalty in extra-time on the rebound from Schmeichel.<\/p>\n
Despite the laser interference, Schmeichel actually saved the England captain\u2019s penalty but could do nothing about the rebound as it fell right at Kane\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n
Two other charges have also been levelled after incidents during England\u2019s 2-1 victory at Wembley.<\/p>\n
Along with investigating the laser pointer that was shone at Schmeichel before he saved Harry Kane\u2019s extra-time penalty only for Kane to score the rebound, UEFA is also looking into the booing of the Denmark national anthem and the lighting of fireworks inside the stadium.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the great clean-up operation has begun this morning after the country celebrated England making their first major tournament final since winning the World Cup in 1966.<\/p>\n
Some streets across the nation were strewn with empty disposable plastic pint glasses, food cartons, laughing gas canisters and other detritus.<\/p>\n
In central London, cleaning staff were seen at dawn working to tidy up Leicester Square, where many fans congregated on Wednesday night during and after England\u2019s 2-1 victory over Denmark.<\/p>\n
One woman cleaning the area told the PA news agency on Thursday morning: \u201cIt is a disgrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have damaged the irrigation system and some climbed up the fountain.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere may be an investigation launched into it as we are not sure how much damage was caused.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople can have fun but they don\u2019t need to get sloshed.\u201d<\/p>\n
